Macy's In, Banana Republic Auf?
It would sure seem that way given the curious, last minute change of venue for both the Miami and New York auditions this week. Although there has been no official word from Bravo yet, it looks as if we may have a new sponsor for Project Runway. So what does this mean for the future of the show? The Banana Republic mentorship really wasn't a significant prize for the winner and the obligatory BR challenge had run its course. What new opportunities and challenges does Macy's bring to the table? And what does this mean for the future direction of Project Runway?

Mentioned before--Michael Kors sells at Macy's.
I'd be thrilled if Daniel's future line more attainable for me at a Macy's.
I'm always intrigued that Macy's is one of the stores that What Not to Wear often features. They show some pieces that I might not think you would find there, wearable and fashionable. Interesting, I wonder how this change will show up in the show?
Not sure if this impacts anything, but I know Macy's also has a very well regarded buyers' program that attracts a lot of recent college graduates. While not the same thing as what the PR designers may need, the corporation has an organized and reputable "internship" of sorts already in place from which they may borrow ideas on how to build a program that really helps talented winner like Jay who may not have the business sense that Chloe seems to have.
There's going to be some really bad mojo in Chicago when the Marshall Field's sign comes down next year....I do not think Macy's can make it in Chicago.
